What Should I Do Immediately After a Car Accident in Georgia?
Your safety comes first. If you’re able, move to a safe place and call 911. Get medical attention, even if you feel fine — injuries often show up later. Gather contact info from others involved, take photos, and avoid admitting fault. Then, make one call — that’s all — to our office for a free consultation. We’ll help you protect your rights and focus on recovery.
Will Insurance Cover All My Medical Bills After an Accident?
Not necessarily. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. That’s why it’s critical to have an attorney who understands how to negotiate full and fair compensation — not just for current bills, but future care, lost wages, and pain and suffering too.
What If the At-Fault Driver Doesn’t Have Insurance?
You may still be covered. Georgia law allows you to pursue compensation through Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage if you have it. We can help you review your policy and explore every path to recovery.
How Soon Should I Contact an Attorney After an Injury?
Immediately. The sooner you call, the sooner we can protect your rights, preserve evidence, and deal with insurance companies on your behalf. Delays can weaken your case.
Can I Still File a Claim If I Was Partially at Fault?
Yes. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you’re less than 50% at fault, you can still recover compensation — though it may be reduced. We’ll fight to ensure your role is fairly assessed.
What Happens During a Free Consultation?
You’ll speak with a member of our experienced legal team who will listen to your story, review the facts, and explain your options — all at no cost and with no pressure. It’s confidential, compassionate, and completely risk-free.
How Do I Get My Car Fixed After a Wreck?
You can file a claim with your own insurance or the other driver’s — but beware of lowball offers. We’ll help you navigate the process and ensure your property damage is fully addressed.
Can I Handle My Injury Claim Without a Lawyer?
You can — but it’s not recommended. Insurance companies have experienced adjusters working to minimize payouts. Without legal help, you risk leaving money on the table. Our firm knows how to maximize your claim and protect your future.
What If I Can't Afford to Miss Work?
We understand how stressful lost income can be. We’ll fight to include lost wages and future earning potential in your compensation. Our job is to help ease the financial burden, so you can focus on healing.
